“My stay found a surprising warmth and comfort, particularly in the well-appointed rooms where thoughtful touches like good quality coffee facilities made mornings notably pleasant. The kitchen's focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients shines through, transforming simple pub fare into something quite special, and the genuine enthusiasm of the staff, especially concerning local walking routes, adds immeasurably to the experience.”
